2 c. self-rising cornmeal mix
3 tbsp. self-rising flour
1 tbsp. finely chopped onion
1 c. milk or water
1 egg, beaten

Combine cornmeal, flour and onion. Gradually beat in milk or water and egg. Allow to sit 5 minutes. Drop from a spoon into hot fat where fish was fried. Fry until golden brown; drain on absorbent paper.

NOTE: For additional flavor, add 1 more tablespoon finely chopped onion and 1 teaspoon onion powder. Makes about 20 hush puppies.
